Will the song really say their name?
Yes. The name you type is written into the lyrics, and the singer sings it out loud. In our tests common and less common names, such as Emma, Leo and Siobhan, were sung correctly from their normal spelling.

What is a personalized birthday song video?
The Personalized Birthday Song on AiRap.me is a photo-to-video effect that turns one photo of you into a 10- or 15-second video of you singing happy birthday to someone by name. You type the birthday person's name, pick who they are to you, add one optional detail such as "30 today", and choose a music style from acoustic to country. The AI places you at a birthday party behind a cake with lit candles and sings an original song in sync with your lips, usually in under a minute. You download an MP4 with no watermark. It is paid in credits, and failed videos are refunded automatically.
Add a second photo to put the birthday person next to you while you sing to them.
Personalized birthday song examples
Each video below started from one photo and a first name, and the AI sang that name in the lyrics with a music style picked in the generator.

Tips for a better birthday song
A few small choices make the song sound more like it was written for them.
- Spell the name the way you say it; a nickname often sounds more natural than a full name.
- Keep the detail short, like "30 today" or "my gym buddy"; it goes straight into the lyrics.
- Use a clear, front-facing photo in good light so the lip sync looks natural.
- Pick 15 seconds if you want a little more song before the clip ends.
Personalized birthday song generator vs a custom song or a video card
There are three common ways to send someone a birthday song, and the right one depends on whether you want a full song or a quick video with your face.
| Option | What you get | Time | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Custom song service | A full-length MP3 written around a longer story, without your face | Hours to days, at a higher price | A keepsake song to play again and again |
| Birthday e-card or video card template | A ready-made card or clip that does not sing their name or show you | A few minutes | A quick, low-cost greeting |
| Personalized Birthday Song on AiRap.me | A 10- or 15-second video of you singing to them by name, in the music style you pick | Usually under a minute | A personal birthday message you can send right away |
Based on how each option works as of November 2026.
What this birthday song maker can and can't do
Knowing the limits up front helps you pick the right photo and spell the name so the song comes out right the first time.
What it can do
- Sing the birthday person's name, plus one short detail, in the lyrics
- Sing in the music style you pick, from acoustic and jazz swing to country and ukulele
- Put the birthday person next to you with a second photo
What it can't do
- Make a full-length song; each video is 10 or 15 seconds
- Write the whole lyrics yourself; you add one detail and the AI writes the rest
- Promise lyrics in languages other than English yet
- Use photos of children, or of anyone without their permission

Answers about names, music styles, pricing and privacy before you make your first personalized birthday song.
Who is singing in the video?
The person in your first photo sings, so upload a photo of yourself to sing to them. With two photos, you sing to the birthday person standing next to you.
Can I choose the music style?
Yes. Pick acoustic, upbeat pop, jazz swing, country, R&B soul or ukulele, or leave Surprise me on and get a random style.
How long is the video and how much does it cost?
Videos are 10 or 15 seconds. You pay in credits per video, and the price depends on length, quality and whether you use one or two photos; the exact cost for your settings is shown on the button before you create it, and failed videos are refunded automatically.
See packs and plansCan I make a personalized birthday song for free?
Not completely. Each birthday song video costs credits, and the 20 free credits new accounts get are not quite enough for one 10-second song, so you will need a small credit pack. Failed videos are always refunded.
See packs and plansCan I write the whole lyrics myself?
Not yet. You add one short detail and the AI writes a short custom birthday song around their name and that detail.
What happens to my photos?
Your photos are only used to make your video, and the finished video is saved privately in My Videos.
